Thank you Uncle Kody and Aunt Brooke!

The kids LOVE Elefun!

And Andrew loves his tent! He has been sleeping in it almost every night since you gave it to him for Christmas! I had to take it down yesterday (to get the house ready to sell), and he was pretty upset about it! He said he likes it because it's cool, it makes him feel like he's camping, and because it was a gift!

Making Reindeer Food with Nana

Start with a few scoops of oatmeal...

...Add a few shakes of magic glitter...
...then place in baggies...

...and decorate. Nana included a cute poem too:

Sprinkle on the lawn at night

The moon will make it sparkle bright
As Santa's reindeer fly and roam

This will guide them to your home.
